God’s Addressbook Includes Hope « Before Morning Breaks
I’ve had my share of sleepless nights recently . . . nice to run across this from Barb Froman (that’s the name on the blog. If I got it wrong Barb, please correct me). Anyway, it’s good for perspective.

Remember this very important fact on those sleepless and seemingly hopeless nights: No matter what, the Sun’s coming up tomorrow. A new day . . . a new hope.

I love those wonderful moments when my head steps out of the way and spirit moves through me. Those moments reaffirm for me that…
Literally from Genesis to Revelation, the Word of God is filled with accounts of people who were found unclothed or naked. Keeping in mind that…
It’s been quite a while since I’ve had any memorable dreams (of either the conscious or subconscious kind). It’s been even longer since I dared to share any of my dreams with anyone other than my wife or a close friend. But I had such a disturbing dream early this morning that I couldn’t shake it even after I awoke. And I felt led to share it with those of you who will read this blog. So, here goes.
To me, it’s a perfect metaphor for this entire project. Is that REALLY God’s face in the photo? Is the book REALLY “A Message From God” as it claims to be, or is it the ramblings of religious nutjob? There are no clear-cut answers to either of those questions. Ultimately, what it all means depends upon what possibilities you’re open to. That’s why they call it “faith.”
Me? I’m trying to keep a pure heart. I like feeling like I can actually see God. Makes me feel good.
As I’ve said elsewhere, and in fact, as The Author says in “A Message From God,” God can and will use the entire universe to speak to us. The real action isn’t about what’s happening OUT THERE, it’s about what’s happening when your experience mixes with the Truth God has written on your heart. Thus, Christians can learn from Muslims . . . and believers can learn from athiests.
Thanks Lee for the shoutout. I still have sleepless nights, but I try to use them to learn how to be still and wait.
Thanks for the encouragement. It’s comforting to know that there are others on the journey too.
